EEikCmdExit and other commands,which are not handled in view::HandleCommandL(), will be directly delivered to AppUi::HandleCommandL()
You can change the path of handling command via the function,MapCommandHandler

does AppUi always handles the global menu, or it can also handle menus for each view..?

From what Eric said, it sure feels like it can

you'll need an Appui::HandleCommandL() and/or a View::HandleCommandL()

In a multiview application, you can have two kinds of menus:
- application global menu (handled in the AppUi)
- view specific menus (handled in each View).

does AppUi always handles the global menu, or it can also handle menus for each view..?

In a multiview application, you can have two kinds of menus:
- application global menu (handled in the AppUi)
- view specific menus (handled in each View).

So depending on how you define your menu in your resource file, you'll need an Appui::HandleCommandL() and/or a View::HandleCommandL()

AppUi owns the AppView...One is responsible for the User interface, while the other takes care of the view. If you notice, unless you edit the current item in app view, you are calling the handle command from the appui.. Well, lots of things go in explaining the details. I would recommend you to read the getting started documents on NewLc and forum nokia. Search for getting started in these two websites you will get lots of help. and trust me, clarifying these doubts early will only help you long term

Good Luck and cheers
Neil

this is in settingexampleui.cpp file

void CSettingExampleAppUi::HandleCommandL(TInt aCommand)
    {
    switch(aCommand)
        {
		case EAknSoftkeyExit:	// only softkey handled at this level
            Exit();
            break;
        default:
            break;
        }
    }

this is from the settingListView.cpp file
